*Do you have the theme song in your head yet?*
We haven't seen it, yet, but I must tell you, we LOVE Harry Potter. At first glance, it may seem a story of wizards, but at it's heart, it is a tale of the power of love, loyalty, bravery, sacrifice and friendship.

On the brooms, I tried a trick from Kudos Kitchen. Painting on the wood grain. Renee is a master of this; I'm still learning. (You can see a video of her technique here.)

Don't forget sweet Hedwig, Harry's snowy owl.

A special shout-out to Diamonds for Dessert! Her Harry Potter cookies were a MAJOR inspiration to me and the first Harry cookies I'd ever seen. (Love that Snape!)
You are amazing! I love these cookies. They are too cute. Bet they didn't last long.
ReplyDeleteDarling cookies Bridget! Love them AND Harry Potter. I stayed up all night and read the last book when I got it.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!! They look great and so tasty!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies get me even more excited about seeing the movie tomorrow.
Oh my goodness Bridget...you have outdone yourself. These are fabulous!! We are huge HP fans so I can see these becoming a fast favorite of ours. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteok....so I'm not a HP fan (my kids are) and I still LOVE these cookies.........makes me want to go try reading the books again!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous job once again!
Absolutely stunning Bridget... they should hire you for ALL the HP Parties!! You really captured them!
ReplyDeleteBlessings-

You are so brilliant! I have the ringtone that I made for my mom from HP lol. So yes, I get that song stuck in my head ALL the time /facepalm.
ReplyDeleteHow cute are these and what a great Mom you are to instill the love of reading in the manner that you do. Reading all the books aloud to Kiddo was a wonderful thing to do and making these cookies...well, I just can't say enough about it all:)
ReplyDeleteLove them! Kidlet and I went to the midnight showing of Deathly Hallows.....so good. We can't wait for the final! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! I love the books and movies too, can't wait to see the new one!
ReplyDeleteThese are perfect - down to the last detail!
ReplyDeleteYou're an artist! These cookies are so cute and perfectly piped! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteSooooooo cute!!
ReplyDeletei never got into harry potter, but those are adorable!
ReplyDeletewow your cookies look awesome! good for any harry potter fan and the like.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, adorable!!! you are so talented!
ReplyDeleteThese? Out of all the cookies you've featured on your blog, these are my favorite! I love Harry Potter, too, and I really look forward to my kids being old enough to enjoy reading the books!
ReplyDeleteYou made me sad all over again about the end of the HP series! These cookies are adorable!
ReplyDeleteAaahhh, the cuteness is TOO MUCH!!! I love them. Never seen the movies but love the books.
ReplyDeleteLove these cookies!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, I can't tell you how obsessed with these I am!! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, those are so so cute! I love them! One question though, is Harry's scar on the wrong side? Not that it would hurt the taste at all so I guess it doesn't matter! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Perfect! Love them all!!! Harry is my favorite though!! Kerri
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Bridget! You are an artist my friend! Every time I come over here, I am so inspired!!!
ReplyDeletePrecious! My daughter and her friends would love these. You do such fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these! We are huge harry potter fans over here as well. I read them all before I got married, and I wanted my husband to appreciate them. So i started reading them out loud to him - starting with book one while sitting in the airport at the beginning of our honeymoon! Needless to say he was hooked and I also read every single page out loud over the course of months and months. They are incredible :)
ReplyDeleteI'm such a huge Harry Potter fan!! Can I change my comment for the contest blog to this--> The Harry Potter cookies are my favourite! haha I wish I had piping tools to try this:(
ReplyDeleteAnd I have searched high and low to find a book that gives me that same feeling as HP does, to no avail. I am so sad it's coming to an end...
Adorable cookies! The movie was almost as awesome as these cookies are. :)
ReplyDeleteSo much fun!
ReplyDeleteI wish I saw these last week! I had a Harry Potter themed party in honour of the movie and we all got dressed up. Your cookies would have been so appropriate! They are delightful.
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteMerlin's beard! These cookies are incredible!
ReplyDeleteLast week was "Harry Potter Week" on my blog and I featured a different HP-related recipe. Needless to say, I share your fanaticism and have debated naming my future first born Severus.
Accio cookies.
Love these! Just finished reading Book 1 to my 9 year old. We watched the first movie last night while snuggling unto tons of blanket. For the second movie I'll make a batch of these. Super Cute!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! My family just got home from watching the HP movie! Love the cookies!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe it!
ReplyDeleteGreg and I have never seen the HP movies!
I know!
So not cool!
In fact...Greg asked me this weekend if I wanted to rent them and have a HP marathon!
These cookies are a MASTER~PIECE!
I mean seriously Bridget!
Is there just NO END to your SKILL!
How on EARTH do you get them so perfect!
I mean how on earth did you get THE HAIR the same on all the cookies!
AMAZING!
My favorite...of course the WHITE owl!
I would LOVE to eat one of those owls with my morning coffee!
I just adore that you and Kiddo read all the books together...and cried your way through the last one!
what a sweet sweet bond you have with that KIDDO!
Hugs to you both!
xo
SNUGGLES TOO!
ADORE ADORE ADORE!!!
ReplyDeleteI seen these amazing cookies and felt like jumping up and down, they are that awesome. I love the little Harry face and the broomstick. Have you seen the Harry Potter cookbook?
ReplyDeleteOh Bridget!! I love these!!
ReplyDeleteSO would my son...we are HUGE HP fans...just saw the movie yesterday afternoon and my kid was so engrossed in the whole thing. You'd think that a 6 year old would get antsy during an over 2 hour movie...but it was so great.
These cookies are just TOO TOO cute!!! One of my favorites that you have done.
You just rock girl, that's all there is to it. I love these!!
ReplyDeleteI was sad to see the end of the Harry Potter series too- so much good reading!
ReplyDeleteHave you read the Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins? I bet you and the kiddo would like those, if you enjoyed Harry Potter. They are very well written excellent stories (and a bit dark! lots of sobbing in the last one too)
These are so adorable! Gorgeous cookies!
ReplyDeleteOhhh goodness I love these! Especially the owls!!
ReplyDeleteGracious! These cookies are TOO CUTE! I LOVE THE OWL! I know you're busy... but did you make the eyes or are they sugar eyes I can buy? They are PERFECT! I just love the white on white decoration!! Can you tell I'm bird-crazy? There are owls that live in our trees in the back yard and there is nothing sweeter than their sounds!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration!
As always, YOU ROCK!
My daughter is a huge Harry Potter fan; sometimes I might say fanatic; she's been reading and going to the movies on the first night since college and she is now 30!
ReplyDeleteHer birthday is coming up and I'm betting my delivering a batch of these cookies would be far more to her taste than a cake; I have to do it!
Brilliant! You cease to amaze me with your cookies. These are awesome! My son started reading the Harry Potter series at a young age and has all the books. He is now 14 and is re-reading the books. I was amazed when I saw him re-reading them. We can't wait to see the movie.
ReplyDeleteI saw the movie on Friday. I love these!
ReplyDeletevery nice!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing and so was the latest movie!!!! If you can see it on IMAX its totally worth the extra $!
ReplyDeleteI just love Harry Potter! I can't wait to see the new movie this week! These are the cutest cookies ever!
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter cookies! What a great idea! I'm completely obsessed! =)
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Your cookies are always the best!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow woman!! Do you ever run out of fantastic ideas??? Can I borrow your brain for a while.... ? :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog... you are amazing. Just wanted to give you a tip I found on
ReplyDeleteKarenscookies.net You take a piece of saran wrap, put your frosting on it, wrap it up and then twirl the ends... no really that's what you do. :) Drop it in the bag, pull it down, cut the end and pop on the tip. If you are ever bored... I know dumb comment come and check out the blog I just started I could use some tips! :) It's lifesbetterwithbutter.blogspot.com
Happy Thanksgiving! Mama Karrie
Bridget, these are absolutely amazing! I love them! We are huge Harry Potter fans, so I know my hubby would love them. Not sure I could pull them off though.
ReplyDeleteYou. Are. Awesome! And now picture me writing that 50 times (which I won't do, because that would take up a lot of your page). I had to post a link on ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com. You. Are. Awesome! I heart Harry. And Ron. And Hermione.
ReplyDeleteI am in LOVE with these-we are HUGE Harry fans in our house! I featured you today on my blog:
ReplyDeletehttp://puertabella.blogspot.com/2010/11/harry-potter-cookies.html
These are just do darn cute I had to post them over on Facebook. Just love them.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to show these to my daughter! She saw the new movie twice this weekend - once with me! It had a few sad moments... (For her last birthday we had a Hedwig cake!) These are an awesome idea, especially in the midst of all the holiday baking! So fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the Hedwig Cookie ... great job with the rest too!
ReplyDeleteLove the Hedwig Cookie ... great job with the rest too!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love these!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe cookies can be that cute, how can one eat that, they are for keeping! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Bridget! Those cookies are just adorable. My kids would go crazy for them - they are big HP fans!

Holy Harry-these are fab! I love Harry Potter and my lil guy is just getting into it. Of course when he saw these he asked if we could make them. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous cookies, Bridget! I can totally relate to your 'sadness' of the last book of the HP series. As eager as I was to read it, knowing it was the last of the series was heartbreaking. It felt like losing part of your family! My now 13 year old, started reading HP when he was 9. He was totally consumed with them, so naturally, I had to see why. Couldn't put them down once I started reading!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful treat for any Harry Potter fan!
By the way, I can't wait to go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios!
Kiss from Spain!
ReplyDeleteAmazing and so generous of you to share! I always love your posts!
ReplyDeleteGreat decorating! Love these.
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative! The cookies are adorable.
ReplyDeleteHow cute are these, Bridget! Love that you read all the books with your son... reading is great, but reading with your children is awesome!!
ReplyDelete¡Ohh, these cookies are fabulous, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget! I have been away from your blog, but now I am back.
ReplyDeleteThose cookies (and your writing about sharing time with your son) are the only things to ever make me want to read Harry Potter. I think we'll start this weekend.
Happy Thanksgiving!
OH my guys would LOVE these cookies~ what a cute idea ;)
ReplyDeleteIf you want an explosion-proof bag, use a milk bag (one of the small clear or blue ones, not the big one). They can generally take icing no problem if you're willing to sacrifice one for the purpose.
ReplyDeletethese are the cutest cookies!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh! These are just darling. Darling I tell you!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I made a few HP cookies for a Wizard Rock concert the week of the premiere. It's amazing to see how quickly fans will gobble up their favorite character cookies!
ReplyDeleteI love Harry Potter too, been a fan ever since it came out.. 10 years ago! Adorable cookies!
ReplyDeleteCookies that felt from heaven!
ReplyDeleteOMG. These works of art are too beautiful to eat!!!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so good! I like Harry potter so.. i am gonna try this. This is really artistic. Love this. These are the cutest cookies.
ReplyDeleteIf for no other reason; these cookies make me love you!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!!!!
